FINDING NEW FISHING FIELDS

We have no doubt whatever that there are just as good fish m the sea off other portions of our coasts as. have Upon caught off ‘Russell. For instance, .the. Marlborough Express recently. ropoi ted: ■''lndications have not been, lacking that there is as good swordfishing in. Marlborough waters as in the Ray of Plenty and Bay o Islands, for broken sword's have frequently been found in the Sounds, and negotiations are afoot with the. object of inducing Mr Zone 'Grey to try out the locality during his visit to New Zealand'., In. support of the claim that swoijd'fish abound off the Marlborough, coast it is reported that, a day or two ago a fine specimen, was washed ashore at Reunion?, on the East Coast. It weighed' oflOlb’ ’ But why should the Blenheim paper call upon Zone Grey to try. out the, Sounds? It was not the American who discovered the fishing off Russel!. Marl borough in us should d'o the trying out. just as 'they have been great whalers. .We w'ore informed hv a Foil ding man the other day that he was, sure there . were swordfish and M'nko sharks off the Tangimoana coast- and he was going to make an effort to prove it. That’s the spirit!
